Mothers Day

Sunday May, 10, 2009

Hi to all,

It's Mothers Day, congratulations to all you wonderful, unselfish, inovative, inventors, motivators, judges, entertainers, rangers, drivers, chefs, bookeepers, problem solvers, motivators, nurses, therapists, lovers, home makers and the list goes on and on and on  and on.

We hope all of you had a wonderful day and were treated like a Queen. We all love and cherish you, now and forever.

It was a rather springlike week here in Minneapolis last week. We just began getteing used the the spring warmth when the wind blew some cold air.  Next week the forecast is for high 60's and not much rain. We need the rain so we are hoping for an all day soft warm rain. Wish us luck.

Tomatos are in their summerhome. Cold temp's are keeping them from spreeding their leaves and growing like any good tomato plant should. Warm weather would sure help. 

Last week was normal for us. No Doctors, no aches or pains, no crisis, a warm place to live and many great friends. Doris did not get back to Kenwood last week but will return this week. Her Kenwood Kids miss her and she misses them. 

The fishing season open last Saturday on a cold and blustery Minnesota day. 

I have never fished on what Minnesotans call "The Opener". The Minnesota Governor always fishes first class on some great lake where you cant help but catch the big ones. He always atracts much attention and nobody really cares except the resort owner who was chosen for the annual affair of cameras, other fisherman and the politicians. The governor with his entourage hardly ever catches anf fish and is embassed by the small bait fish he usally catches. 

The marinas, bait shops, sport fishing shops and restaurants with their new gadgets and gear that are guaranteed to catch fish always wish for a large crowd. They also hope for a good day at the cash register. 

Many of the folks that fish on "the opener" never get back to the lake to fish again. They just like to say "yeah, I fished that lake on the opener".  A bit like the golfers that go out on the first day the coarse is open and never take the clubs out of their car trunks again, or the folks who must attend the Twins first game of the season and never return till the following year. 

After all these folks are finished it is time for Jimto go fishing. No crowds at the marina, bait shops and the lake to ourselves. 

If you remember the piano we donated to our Grand Children I have great news. 

The first recital is on May 21 at Gustavus Adophous in St Peter. Doris and I will be in attendance to hear hm play. We are thankful for him to be able to get music out of what at one time though I could'nd live with out. It was never hardly ever played except once in a while at party's. 

Hearing:

At a revival meeting, the charismatic Evangilist asked people who had a need come forward. 

He asked the first person to arrive, 

"what is your need brother"?

"my hearing" he answered.

The evangilist spit on his finger , put it into the guy's ear, invoked the Lord , and asked, 

hows your hearing now?

"I don't know, It's not until next Tuesday".

Remember to keep on keeping on!

Jim and Doris
